Cooler weather, color-changing leaves, and the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks all mean that October has arrived. And now nearing the end of the month, we get a full week of dressing up as different celebrities and animals to celebrate Halloween! While it’s exciting and fun to experiment with costumes for Halloween, you don’t want to drop a lot of cash on an outfit you’ll only wear once this year. Don’t show up to a party dressed as yourself…instead, dress up with some of these worthy investments that you’ll love to wear well after Halloween ends. Plus, they won’t break the bank!

After seeing these fantastic shoes, you can’t help but fall in love. They’re perfect for fall or winter wear because of the deep plum color and are a unique piece to add to any of your evening outfits. However, they could also be the statement piece of your 80s themed Halloween outfit!
2. Cooperative Animal Beanie – Urban Outfitters
This beanie is the perfect addition to a cuddly panda bear Halloween costume and also a cute way to keep warm throughout the rest of the chilly season.
